The Southwest Challenge is an annual event that brings together members from several different APA League areas in the Southwestern United States. Teams of three meet at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino for a weekend of fun and competition. The 2018 event will take place March 22 - 25. Look for an event flier on this website and in your weekly team envelope as the event nears.

Each team must declare their shooting order prior to entry into the tournament.

Throughout the event, the teams must rotate through their rosters, maintaining the shooting order as the tournament progresses. This format guarantees each player an equal opportunity to play, and forces teams to rely on their novice teammates to help them advance. It also creates some interesting match-ups with often-surprising results!

Mini Tournaments

In addition to the main events, players can enter mini tournaments around the clock. The minis take many different forms, some for lower-skilled players only, some for higher-skilled players only, some open, some doubles, 8-Ball, 9-Ball, or whatever else can be invented. Each mini tournament features an entry fee of ten to twenty dollars and a field of eight or sixteen players, with 100% payback of all entry fees. Minis are open to all current APA members from participating areas, in addition to the members playing in the main event!
